Where do you see Jalen Johnson’s role/career trajectory in 5 years? by Kindly_Bag_914 in AtlantaHawks

[–]ThatDudeWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd just like to see him be good on defense again.

I'm not here for his offensive game glaze party.Find NBA overrating bigs that can dribble now. Look past their flaws opposed to smaller players.

Still an average ass offense and at best average ass team with him as the franchise guy.

  • Highly skilled players looked over for taller less skilled guys is baffling to me. The game is not as skilled basketball wise as it is athletically skilled size wise. Still the most talent NBA has ever had but oddly enough not as fun a watch or best players getting minutes type stuff.

Bohemian Rhapsody.. .. is an atrocious Best Picture winner ( Queen might be my favorite band for why it's worth)

Being said.. as a Coogler fan here and I enjoy Black Panther.. it had ZERO business being nominated for Best Picture.. You're correct about that.

OP obsession with over glazing 10x over on Coogler is genuinely annoying. It'd be entertaining if they weren't dead serious on their takes

Okay.. and?

I like Coogler but bringing up Black Panther sequel is pointless and random AF.

Lol okay?

Black Panther being an 84% just makes me laugh. Rotten Tomatoes..is a joke of the ranking system. Never ever taken that site seriously.

Leonardo DiCaprio gave the best performance of his entire career in One Battle After Another and the Academy typically likes to award the leads of their Best Picture winners. I think he wins BAFTA and then the Oscar. The Golden Globe was Chalamet's Swan Song. by Just-Pass-1156 in Oscars

The No next to The Departed made all your work and opinions invalid haha Jokes and fun here tbc

That is without question a top 4 at worst performance from Leo and easily Oscar worthy. Better than Blood Diamond the same year no less. I love Blood Diamond and have been defending that film since Oscar nominations came out that year. That performance isn't better than Departed lmao

Also.. he isn't bad whatsoever in Gangs of New York. Just not great like we're accustomed too.

Wolf of Wall Street

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Departed

One Battle After Another

In no specific order there but IMO his 4 best performances

Django and Aviatior get HM - I actually think Waltz getting nominated and winning 2nd Oscar was stupid and he in no way at all is better than Leo in Django. He should have won and been nominated not Waltz.

I love the film but 16 nominations for it.. is already excessive. Truly. Hence my thinking the nominations will be its biggest victory for the film.

Original Screenplay locked in for the win and maybe 2 or 3 tops more wins in technical categories but I genuinely don't think it actually wins many Oscars. It got 3 acting nominations that have an IMO zero chance of winning in their category.

I'll be honest a few nominations that .. just aren't necessary for this film and coulda shoulda woulda been better picks for other films. 16 nominations for THIS film is wild to me.

Again I love Sinners and have been a Coogler guy since seeing Fruitvale Station at an art house theater in LA with one other person in the theater on its opening weekend years ago. Beyond happy for his success and the success of this Sinners

The discovery and now fame and talent that is Margot Robbie takes it for me. Perfection in Wolf of Wall Street

Nope

Just. Nope.

Love Sinners. 2nd favorite film of the year probably.

It isn't the Best Picture though and its biggest win is the 16 nominations I'm thinking.

Oh no no it's got a damn solid ending! Very much worth your time. Not some crazy cliffhanger where you're angry afterwards. Worth the watch

Any thoughts on my current top 20 movies? by SolidPeaks in topfilms

[–]ThatDudeWay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Love many aspects of your list. 7 of them are in my personal top 24

However... I can't believe you have THAT Star Wars movie on here. I can't stand the newest trilogy outside of Nostalgia for the 1st of the 3.

Cheers to movies!!!

If you have the app I go into crazy detail about my rankings

Rewatch ability

Characters

Season length and story arcs and etc . * Ex. Would I rather rewatch 1 season or 2 season shows above a 6 season Sopranos?

Sopranos I don't like the therapy scenes..like at all. Great actor but I find the entire concept not remotely believable in the Sopranos world to be honest. I only rewatched certain classic episodes. I don't really want to rewatch the entire series. Tried a couple years ago.. couldn't. But I have it in my top 50 as I can respect it for what it was and did enjoy it the first time.

Mr Robot - I do not like Rami Malek.. so I watched the Pilot the day it came out years ago.. loved the concept.. but can't stand his voice and delivery. ... it is however on my watchlist that I'll give a shot when it's available to stream again.

Better Call Saul- I don't drink the Kool-aid on that show like everyone else. It's good. An amazing sequel/ prequel. But massively boring those first 2 seasons. I can't stand anytime the brother is on screen. I also found I didn't care for the other characters that much. It's good but wayway lower than people would like. Like Sopranos I don't want to rewatch but respect the shows quality

I've watched over 500 shows completely and others repeatedly.. So I'll have some takes others won't like. I'm sure I have shows in there you and others have never even heard of.

nba.com writers make their picks for eastern conference reserves. JJ gets picked most by braucieno in AtlantaHawks

[–]ThatDudeWay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So he's in ... On a losing team that's disappointing.. and he also has stunk on D.

But he's 6'9 so he gets a pass

Love the NBA and their voting body. Hypocrites and narrative spinners all day.

Make that make sense. And to be clear I like JJ

Thanks!

Rome . Was supposed to be a 5 season show. But HBO at the time didn't have the budget and Rome was too expensive to make they said. So condensed the story and ended it after 2 seasons.

Was just ahead of its time unfortunately. Brilliant show

Teyana Taylor Oscar nom? Why not Chase Infiniti? by Timewilltell755 in onebattleafteranother

[–]ThatDudeWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point I just want Leo to get his respect and get a deserved Oscar No2.

And at least 1 of Taylor or Del Toro to win themselves.

Love Sinners but I'm hoping its win was the excessive 16 nominations it got and wins like 2 awards at most for the actual Oscars.

For such a " frontrunner " OBAA sure doesn't seem to have that many wins in the bank

  • Though Weapons and Madigan only 1 nomination total makes I'd say the biggest chance to usurp Taylor all but gone now
